Antique Beam Drill [Restoration]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The -40 C/F temperatures made this tool restoration harder than it needed to be.
This tool is a beam drill or boring machine made by the James Swan Co. in the early 1900s. I believe this one is the No. 6502 model as it has a solid cast iron frame. An original 1904 catalogue listing is shown here: i.imgur.com/e976xJF.jpg. The James Swan Co. existed in Seymour, Connecticut, USA from 1877-1951 and specialized in drilling tools.
I decided to replace all wooden parts as they were either rotten or warped. I originally thought these were made entirely of oak, but some maple pieces showed up during the restoration. The original black japanning was almost entirely gone, so every metal piece was de-rusted and painted with 3 coats of filler primer. I was surprised to see black japanning on the semi-circular guides that allow the drill to be adjusted, as the paint would clearly be scraped and worn off from repeated use.
The non-cast iron pieces seem to all be a fairly low grade of steel, and may even be wrought iron.
The auger bit was severely pitted and definitely needs replacing. I was surprised to see grain structure in the bit, suggesting it may be wrought iron as well. I don't think the auger bit is an original James Swan bit, as those were cast steel and would have been stamped with their logo.
I'd like to thank Evaporust for sponsoring this video. Their product definitely came in handy for this tool that was very rusty and pitted.

    The nice thing about a lot of white oak used in the tool's construction is rigidity without weight. The mortise and tenon construction demonstrates this tool was made to last, and could be carried up to the rafters to drill and install the wood pegs in the beam construction of barns and wooden buildings. Using the hand tools that resided in the old carpenter's tool box to restore the shape instead of grabbing a router was very interesting. I agree about using 40 grit sandpaper to restore the patina to the repaired casting. Work of art.

    Now this is a tool worth restoring, this type of manual drill is not only rare, but also still useful, in some cases even better than modern power tools. Whatever you decide to do with your other restored items keep this one in your workshop, you'll find it priceless if you do more intricate woodwork in the future. If you can't find more original drill heads you should be able to modify modern ones to fit, you'll find smaller diameter ones more useful whenever you need to drill angled holes in hard wood consistently and without damaging the surface.

    Is it meant to be clamped to the workpiece? Seems like that would eliminate a lot of the wobbles.

    Hey, Bruce. My Ma was senior person at an old folk's lodge for 20+ years. Rumour got around back in the 90's that rubbing WD into your joints alleviated the worst of arthritis symptoms. Got to be quite a fad amongst the grey hairs for a few months, until they started to drop from kidney failure. She lost two or three fellows to that. Might not have been related at all, but still makes me a bit janky to see someone getting regualr repeated exposure. Don't reckon I'd risk it. Your mileage may vary. :)

    Once upon a time Wired Magazine ran some through a GC/MS web.archive.org/web/20140119014037/www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/17-05/st_whatsinside : basically mineral oil plus aliphatic (straight chain) hydrocarbons that look a lot like kerosene :-) None are particularly an issue for kidney toxicity (I was a biochemist/analytic chemist once upon a time), but your story sounds like the time that the big fad was DMSO rubbed on the skin for arthritis. DMSO doesn't necessarily cause kidney damage itself, but it transports anything dissolved in it into the body through the skin barrier. There were a lot of dodgy DMSO vendors selling bottles of the gunk taken right from industrial drums of the stuff contaminated with who knows what. the WD40 MSDS just has the usual warnings about hydrocarbon toxicity: CNS depression, skin and gastric irritation, etc. www.wd40company.com/files/pdf/sds/mup/WD-40_Multi-Use_Product-BULK_US_GHS_8-25-15_.pdf
